‘Nothing’s off limits’ – questions on male escorting in Queensland
It was open slather when Brisbane’s B105FM morning crew held the live segment, ‘Ask me anything – A male escort answers all your burning questions’.
Abby: Ooooh we haven’t done this for a while! This is where we have someone on the show about something that is a little bit out of the ordinary or from a different profession – which it is in this case – and you can ask them anything you like.
Matt: Now when you’re thinking up your questions folks, keep in mind that this person has put their hand up and said, ‘You can ask me absolutely anything – nothing’s off limits, you can’t offend me’. This is all about learning about them.
And that person is Lucius who is a male escort. Morning Lucius!
Lucius: Good morning crew and good morning Brisbane!
‘He loves to listen and learn about me’…. I presume you’re an escort for women?
Abby: Thanks for coming on… can I ask – I mean, I can probably answer this, having read some of your reviews online – ‘he loves to listen and learn about me’… I presume you’re an escort for women?
Lucius: Yes, I offer services exclusively to women, correct.
Matt: How did you get into the work, Lucius?
Lucius: Great question. I was a marketing manager for many years in the corporate world, and this is something that I always wanted to do. But it took me some time to get to a position in life where I decided that I should actually do what I really wanted to do and follow my heart – and I did that about 12 months ago.
Single, older, married… who are the women hiring male escorts?
Abby: Wow, and who would be… is there an average clientele? Would they be single and younger, or married and… is there a general…?
Lucius: I’d say there’s four categories. The first one is, those in a relationship – and I’d say they’re in a neglectful or abusive type of relationship, thus seeking the services of an escort.
Then there are the single clients, and I’d break them up into people who might be suffering some trauma, and those who potentially haven’t had intimacy for a long time.
And the fourth one is probably the most classic and what I describe as the ‘no fuss encounter’ – they might have been married or recently got out of a relationship, they’re not interested in taking a chance on the dating apps and they’re not interested in going out and drinking to meet people – they just want it as they like it.
Matt: Yeah, fair enough.
Abby: When you’re talking, I’m hearing a lot about you mention how when they come to see you they may not necessarily be in a good place… have you sort of become a bit of a counsellor for them? Do you find it hard to separate that from the perspective of your services versus you trying to help them beyond?
Lucius: Abby I think it’s all part of what I do and I tend to consider this as a fundamental part of the role. I certainly don’t tell anyone I’m a therapist by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s certainly about being there for them in whatever they may need, and whatever the circumstance and time in their life they’re going through.
And how does pricing work for a male escort?
Matt: How does it work with payment? Do you have, like, a menu? Or is it just an hourly rate?
Lucius: So for me, it’s just an hourly rate, which can tier more favourably as you go up in time. And as far as extras and requirements and things, sometimes people ask upfront if they’re looking for something specific while other times they’re happy to just meet and see how it goes.
So you really get a range of people who have specific requirements, and then those that are happy to sort of, roll with it.
Meeting clients where they need me to be has probably become a stronger part of my business… some women feel safer and more assured about doing this kind of thing ‘away’, so I’ll meet them in a regional centre, for example.
Ever bump into a client when you’re just out and about, doing your own thing?
Stav: I imagine with the world being what is today… there would be times when you’re out and you may see a client and you have to pretend that you don’t know them?
Lucius: No, actually not in my experience, no.
Look, I live in a big city, as you guys do, plus, it’s transpiring that a lot of my clients are from outside the city. They’re in various regional areas in which I wouldn’t otherwise run into in my personal life so I think it works out well for everyone (laughs).
Stav: See Brisbane’s got this thing where you can be way over on the other side of town and you’ll still run into someone. I don’t know what it is about Brisbane but it’s just got that thing about it. (laughs)
Abby: You’ve said on your profile that you’d go interstate or overseas. Have you had a client that’s said, ‘I want you to be on me or – sorry, not ‘on me’ – but ‘meet’ me –
Stav: – that’s right, that’s what they said; ‘I want you to be on me in Dubai’…
Abby: (laughing) I mean, more like a business trip, a ‘come and meet me’… has that happened?
Lucius: Absolutely. So going to meet clients where they are, and where they need me to be, has probably become a stronger part of my business than the more classic ‘fairly local/in the same city’.
I think that has a lot to do with the fact that some female clients perhaps feel safer and more assured about doing this kind of thing ‘away’ – in a regional centre, for example. And I’ll go and meet them there.
Stav: Hehehe so you, in fact, don’t bump into them in your normal places of working and living. (giggles)
Lucius: Yes, exactly. And to my point before, this is all part of the same potential driver as to how and why they ask for this service, and then where and when they are to receive the service.
A career change from marketing to male escort… any regrets?
Abby: Have you ever regretted the career change? Do you enjoy it?
Lucius: Absolutely no regrets – I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and I absolutely love it. It’s very much a passion and a profession… far more than I ever felt in my marketing career, to be honest.
Matt: You sound like you have nice demeanour… you sound like a lovely bloke.
Abby: Well, he’s getting a lot of serotonin, so… you know (laughs).
Matt: OK, now it’s over to you guys on the phone to ask Lucius, the male escort, anything you like! Nothing’s off limits – we’re just trying to find out what it’s like to live his life…
Matt: OK, we’ve got a bunch of people lined up to ask Lucius a question.
First one is Kylie from Heritage Park in Logan, Brisbane. Hello there Kylie, you’re on with Lucius – what’s your question?
How do you get bookings if you never hear much about male escorts? asks Kathryn from Burpengary in Moreton Bay, Queensland
Matt: OK we’ve now got Kathryn from Burpengary (Moreton Bay, Queensland). You’re with Lucius the male escort… Kathryn, what’s your question?
Kathryn: Hello and good morning! My question would be… how do you get booked out? Do you get a lot of bookings coming your way? You never hear much about male escorts…
Lucius: Hey Kathryn, that’s a great question. Simply speaking, I get contact enquiries through my own website, which is australiamaleescort.com.au.
There’s also two prominent escort profile directories that I subscribe to, which many other male, female, trans and non-binary escorts subscribe to as well. So, enquiries come through from these and they’re usually in written form. I can’t speak for all escorts but we generally tend to prefer written enquiries because it gives us a chance to see what’s come through and respond in a timely and constructive manner.
So yes, that’s how they come through. I think for many people, whether you’re a male or female searching for an escort, it will generally be Google search-based initially. Then, depending on where you are with location and what you typed into the search term, you’ll either get direct escort websites or escort directories.
That’s kind of the combination of how people find me and other escorts, Kathryn.
Is jealousy in relationships an issue? wonders Hayley from Chermside, Queensland
Abby: We’ve got Hayley in Chermside, Queensland. Hayley, what’s your question for Lucius?
Hayley: Hi! I just really wanna know – being a male escort, do you find it hard holding down a relationship? Do you have normal relationships or is jealousy an issue?
Lucius: Hey Hayley, that is a great question. I’m not personally in a relationship and I haven’t been in a relationship since I’ve become a full-time escort.
As far as I can ascertain from where I am right now? I think it would be a challenge, absolutely. But for now, I’m really engrossed in my job – really loving it and being very passionate about it, so I feel it’s important I give all of my energy to my clients.
I’m not yet experienced in how it would be to be giving everything to a client, or a number of clients, and then someone at home. I think it would undoubtedly be challenging but there’s certainly people out there that can do it, no doubt. But there would probably be a large segment of people – you know, if they were the boyfriend or the girlfriend of the escort – that would find it really challenging. And I think the escort would find it really challenging in maintaining not only what they need to on the professional side but also on the relationship side.
Stav: Yeah – and then there’d be those times when you’d slip up and get confused, and ask them for money after. (loud laughs from panel)
Has a son or daughter ever asked you to take out their mum? Kathleen from Redcliffe in Queensland wants to know
Abby: Last question – Kathleen in Redcliffe, what’s your question for Lucius?
Kathleen: Hi, good morning! I wanted to know whether, for example, like a set of parents were separated and my mum needed a kick starter on getting back out there – have you ever been asked by a son or daughter to take their mother out, on a date?
Lucius: Hehehe that’s a really good question Kathleen, I haven’t yet…
Abby: You have now! (panel laugh)
Lucius: Amazing!!! (more laughter)
I haven’t had any yet but I certainly do imagine that’s something I would anticipate to be the case from time to time.
Abby: Yeah, that’s really interesting – I never thought about that, Kathleen!
Matt: Happy birthday Mum!
Abby: It’s true though, isn’t it? You want your parent to feel love still.
Stav: Or… get comfortable again with a man, conversing and how that all runs.
Matt: Well Lucius, it’s been very insightful to speak with you this morning – thank you so much for your openness and honesty, we really appreciate it!
Lucius: My absolute pleasure – thank you very much!
